Looks like doc codegen is unhappy about the missing type definitions:

Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/ethtool.rst:1122: WARNING: Bullet list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/ethtool.rst:2126: ERROR: Unknown target name: Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/ethtool.rst:2131: ERROR: Unknown target name: "ethtool_a_cable_result_code".
Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/ethtool.rst:2136: ERROR: Unknown target name: "ethtool_a_cable_inf_src".

We need to teach it to not link to external types?
